Description
We report new measurements of the linear polarization of thermal radiation emitted by incandescent thin tungsten wires, with thicknesses ranging from five to hundred microns. Our data show very good agreement with theoretical predictions, based on Drude-type fits to measured optical properties of tungsten.
